Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Which DNA test would be good for Viking & French ancestry?

« on: Saturday 17 December 22 11:41 GMT (UK) »

Hi,

I've been researching my family history for decades and have two specific areas of interest that i'd like to check with a DNA test.

A leading researcher into a particular french noble family has agreed that I'm a decendant of French Huguenots and I was wondering if a DNA test would be any good for extra confirmation?

Through three branches of the family tree I'm also linked to some well known Vikings from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, would a DNA test help confirm a Scandinavian heritage.
A recent DNA research article has made me consider taking this further as it suggest all people who have blue eyes are genetically related to a specific Danish family.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Captain J. A. Fisk - London

« on: Friday 23 April 21 10:05 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Many years ago I was given a Dolland Day or Night two piece telescope by my grandmother which is engraved with the name Captain J. A. Fisk - London. She didn't know how it ended up in our family in Lowestoft, it could possibly have been through my grandfather's side of the family.

It would be great to know more about Captain J. A. Fisk, any help/advice would be appreciated.
